55 - Twist My Arm

from Real Good Show

This week on the show that definitely holds water, we discuss the 2016 Rio Olympics -- but only very tangentially. Is swimming the fastest really that impressive? And the fans rally to force John to watch a disgusting video of a weightlifter snapping his arm in half. PLUS: After the raucous reaction to last week's Limp Bizkit material, John's Nü-Metal Nook casts its watchful eye on Linkin Park and Korn. Support the show at www.patreon.com/RealGoodShow

live we're living it this is all your fault you never should have encouraged victory lap for everybody who loves them biscuits and said it and said that I said it last show everyone would love it and here we are again because it's our generation and we don't give a fuck are you ready do you know where you are we are in my kitchen and it's time to do a real good show episode fifty five this is your living room well the kitchen I was looking at the sink so I feel like if the sink is within I say oh but so is the living that's true so is your patio we're on your patio whatever's an eyesight that's where we are I brought the number thing back for one episode one yeah I don't know why was that a thing called a swashbuckler really because he was a swash oh yeah I mean because I was actually a panther span when I was a kid really yeah how did that happen I don't know I think I just like their logo you know like when you're like eight like I think they came out or no I guess they yeah they came out when I was eight so I was like oh well that's I mean my team is a break in a stick yeah my team is a leaf this looks like yeah this is like a cartoon cat that's destroying a stick that's dope and they probably just been in the cup final well no a ninety three like I started drinking right away right when they came in ninety three so when they made the cup final I was like I watched all the games and of course Joe Vennasi was a huge pimp and shut down Erick Lindross and so yeah yeah well we we loved him here for many years of course yeah that's weird when somebody's like most famous moment is like them taking a penalty basically if I think of Ed Jovannock yeah I think of him freaking out in the penalty box I think of him ending Adam Deadmarsh's career that's a good one too not bad not like the I mean that's like the death of Dick Trickler right like the rest of us got to enjoy right yeah probably not so fun for the guy I mean dead's in his name yes it was always the right cool and I was really good well I just never liked him because he had dual Canadian US citizenship and wasn't good enough to play for Canada and when he was a junior so he played for the States and so he's like Jason Palminville yeah he's a Palminville right now I don't know if we've talked about this on the show before not I don't know Palminville but I feel like Brett Hall for sure yeah might have come up when he was left off the roster again this most recent time if you he does have dual citizenship Palminville yes I'm glad I have that information my head not even if you were him but if PK Subban decided that he was going to defect and play hockey for Team USA would you blame him at this point at this point no he can't do no wrong to me yeah it's like he gets traded and whatever and I'm like oh PK is the bet like he made me just like Shay Weber somehow and then like yeah and then now I'd be like oh well you know Team Canada has treated him pretty unfairly so I mean yeah I think when it's like a couple teams in a row that you should have made I mean I guess he technically made the Olympic team with them played like played like yeah so yeah he's yeah it's more the guys that like they get cut in junior and then they're like okay well yeah you know like I'd rather a guy like Tyler Myers for example had dual citizenship and was like I would rather make and play for Canada but if he never does then like wouldn't it be cool to play at the Olympics for anyone like that's the Olaf Colesic thing right like playing right team Germany but he's just a there but he's a German a Canadian though I'm pretty sure yeah well he's from here yeah I don't know where he's from here because he he's always born in Johannesburg South Africa okay but I feel like he spent considerable time in Germany like to me that's not the German well he played the WHO he played for the Abbotzford Falcons of the BCH there you go yeah because he I know a guy that played that he was they were the Golditand and okay I know his part dusty even oh yeah he's a Canucks alumni as well yes but he has a son who plays goal in the BCHL used to Joe down here at Centennial Cess. Oh yeah that's right so yeah so I was gonna say though who was the German that was like definitely not German that played for Germany when they tied or even beat Canada they beat Canada in one of the Olympics it was a lot of Torino if I was Torino that and I think that they beat them or tie them in for it he was an NHL or but it was like you like his connections to Germany were like very suspect I want to say maybe his first name was Pat or something. Sounds very German. Yeah exactly.

Did he play in NHL or I'm almost sure he played in the NHL and then like played for Germany or maybe it was Switzerland. It might have been Switzerland tied to Canada. It was Switzerland then okay there's a guy that played for Switzerland that was like definitely not like it was like he had a Swiss chocolat once and then was like a cam on Switzerland now. It's in my blood yeah once you eat the Swiss chocolate it never leaves you.

Was it Paul D Pietro? There sure. I think that's right. He's from St.

Marie. Yeah there you go. Yeah I knew there was a guy that like you could like there was no chance he ever like lived a second Switzerland. I know what TJ.

Related to Rick doesn't say on his Wikipedia page. He won a cup with the 1993 Canadians. Okay there you scored twice in the cup. Yeah I think that's who I'm thinking.

I think he scored against Canada too. He did. He scored the only two goals of the game. There you go.

That's what I thought. Okay so that's definitely what I was thinking of. Yes. And like TJ Muylock from the Surrey Eagles played for Germany for like a long time.

He was on the Eagles like when I was in high school. He was very good and then he just played in the German League for so long that he got German citizenship and then played like he was on the team in 2010. Well you look at team Italy from the Texas Father all from Ontario. Right.

Or it's like who are the guys isn't there like oh yeah like that are playing for fuck. Are they playing for Kazakhstan like Dustin Boyd and Nigel Dawes and I don't always play for Kazakhstan. Someone else. Yeah there's like three of them or it's like or like South Korea or like they're playing for like someone really really different.

Brandon Bajensky Nigel Dawes and Dustin Boyd. Yeah and they're playing for South Korea. Oh Kazakhstan. The first sentence on Nigel Dawes is Wikipedia though.

It says Nigel Alexander Dawes is a Kazakhstanian Canadian professional ice hockey winner. But I think he's not. But I feel like Team Kazakhstan like edited it to put them. Yeah they definitely did.

Yeah I don't think even he describes himself as Kazakhstan he when he's playing for the Kazakhstan. Born in Winnipeg Manitoba. Yeah. Oh well he played for the world like the world juniors.

Yeah. It was on all those really good cameras. Because act team that he plays was a pretty sweet look. Is it Akbar's because it is not it is.

I'm out of time. I'm out of time. I'm out of time. I'm out of time.

Or simply bare as. This is their logo. Damn. Yeah that's pretty bad.

That's a pretty cool logo. It's like it's like it's like it's like it was drawn in paint. It's just it's a perfect. It's a smell up or that's like mildly psychedelic.

Yeah. Like I don't know if that's like ice shards growing out a bit. Did you guys see that KHL player just beat the shit out of the entire game? Oh man that was gross.

Oh you didn't see that? No. He got suspended definitely. I think he was playing the Chinese KHL team.

Yeah that's right. No he's on the Chinese. Is he on the Chinese KHL team? I thought he was playing against the Chinese KHL team.

Yeah. Just this year. London's getting a KHL team too. It's an air expansion expansion franchise.

Yeah. But this guy. Yeah. It was against the hell out of like five.

And then he went off the edge by himself. Like he was just sucker punching guys. It was insane. Yeah I was really weird.

I can't believe you didn't see it. It was crazy. The only clip that I've seen out of the KHL recently was that. Oh the javelin.

The javelin. The javelin. That was awesome. Which was the greatest thing ever.

Like I can't believe that I haven't seen that before. That's what I. KHL player divided into two categories like ridiculous shoot out goals during one of the many all-star games they have each year. Or someone committing a crime on the ice.

Yeah or the rare seldom seen third category. Someone dying on the bench. I was thinking about saying that. That's still going to be someone else.

That still gives me the heebie-jeebies. I know. I'm like carrying him off the ice on a tarp. Yeah.

But those American listeners have never heard of that. Alexei chair pan off. I think most of our American listeners who know hockey. Yeah probably.

But if you have. How do you not even have like a stretcher. Yeah. Never mind one on wheels but just like you know.

They didn't have it. They had nothing. So literally what happened was he had a heart defect and he collapsed on ice and then he was I think basically dead on ice and they had to like the hockey players themselves had to go out with a tarp and they rolled him on to the tarp and then carried him off the ice on a tarp. And I think I want to say Jogger was one of the players.

Yeah. Yeah. Because it was during the lockout. Yeah.

Oh no. I wasn't. No. It was just.

No. I was playing the KHL for a couple years. Yeah. Just to make that sweet sweet tax-free dollar.

Yeah. Was it worth it? I think if he could be on the all-time list. Oh I know.

Yeah. I'm not played those these things. Yeah. And he wouldn't have had to do that either.

Yeah. Yeah. Because I'm almost sure that he was one of the people. I think I believe he was.

I think he was on his team. I mean I'm never watching that clip again but I'm sure Jogger was. I'm not going to put it on the show blog this week. No but you can seek it out.

Yeah. If you're sick. If you're sick. I mean people are obviously brought it up because they put that a little bit.

Yeah. You know that's a joke. Yeah. They put that Olympic thing where the guy's like shin goes through his leg or his skin or whatever in the from the Olympics and they put it in Facebook where videos auto play like I mean people are gross.

Oh is that the gymnast breaking? Yeah. Yeah. I thought there was another.

Do you want to see the other injury from today? Well do I. Yeah. I'm passing.

Are you sure I do? I'm going to show Justin. Okay. Just to get his reaction.

Justin I'll ease this with this. What's the score? Arnanian weight lifter suffers horrifying elbow injury in brackets. This is going to ease your pain.

This is going to ease your pain. This is going to be the best. This song is called it'll be okay. You don't have to watch the video.

We can just see the picture. This is his coach looking away. Any other coach coming in? Yeah.

Oh yeah. That's a good song. That's disgusting as I thought it would be. Okay.

Well that's what's the video. It's not a biscuit. It'll be okay. Better.

Oh. The worst was like I knew when it was going to happen. I hadn't seen the video yet. You could just feel it coming in both of your reaction was.

John. No I don't. No I don't. No I don't.

Don't do it. Don't do it. Just for the sake of the show. I'm not doing it.

Our listeners are going to be like why didn't you watch the video? No they won't. They'll be like Justin and Stefan drink and John doesn't. We watched videos and John doesn't.

We looked at the Noade thing last week. No that wasn't gross. I love to have the safe work version. Yeah.

That's a bit. Yeah I don't think I got any trouble. No people really like it. Just look like the three of them hanging out.

Just having a good time. Big black bar. Are you sure you don't want 100% sure? I showed you.

You get mad at me. Yeah. No I don't. I feel like now we need to hear your reaction.

No I don't. It's not for our listeners. The listeners. I don't pay for this kind of content.

We react to the video from the show account right now. We're trying to show. No we're going to get a reaction. No one cares.

It's fine. We didn't record an episode for two weeks. I try to act like people pay money for this authentic. This is a professional.

I don't want to watch this. Did you just enjoy my visceral reaction to it? Well both of yours. Yeah.

Well especially from you because it was made funnier because right before you're like oh that's not as horrifying as I thought it was going to be. And then you both have. Well think of how much you enjoyed my reaction. The listeners are going to enjoy your reaction just as much.

Sure they are. No I'm not. Okay well what if we get a certain amount of like retweets or feids? I don't give a shit.

I'm not trying to take Ronda Rousey to my prom. Oh by the way I'm returning to an old bit where I eat stuff on the show. This episode is brought to you by Harry Potter. You're eating something we have to show you now.

No I've been asking for it. No exactly. It's like a two second video. I don't want to watch it.

I hate shit like this. I know you don't. You fucking love it. Every time we have something like this you love this shit.

No but this is like no you guys got to watch it. This is gross. You do have to see it. Okay I'm posting it right now.

Please like this tweet. If John should be forced to watch the video where the weightlifter snaps his arm in half. I don't want to see that. So listeners if you're in the past right now which is where we are please like this tweet and we'll make him do it.

I just like don't. I just liked it. Yeah you can listen to Limp Biscuit. That kind of helped me on it.

Yeah I did. It really did. I was like oh maybe this is like a joke from a Limp Biscuit video. You know like it's not it didn't really.

I just want you to know that Mike fail like that tweet within three seconds of it. Wow we've established Mike fail. Well I like Mike. We're at six likes.

What's the number? We're at six already. No we're not. Yes.

Yes. Six already. Yeah. Who else like that?

No. Who else like that? Taehoon. Aaron Mackay.

What? Jason Yahya. Oh God. I like that.

I don't know if that counts. You like that. No I have. Like it from the show account.

That counts as three. It's true. I just liked it from our own. That means John like it.

That means he's horrible. We're at 10 likes. Oh 10. Holy Christ.

Don't people have lives. What are they doing? They're just like oh I bet Justin and Justin and Justin and Gordon. 14 now you have to watch it.

My friend sexual Germanji just liked it. Did you retweet it? No. You retweeted it.

That's why we have so many likes. You retweeted it. That's not fair. We don't say we could.

Most of them are from our original four audience. No I was just about to say that I was not gonna do it but now I'm not because you retweeted it. You retweeted it. No that's you retweeted.

All those likes came before I retweeted it. No they did it. Most of them actually did. Yeah.

It's true. It really is true. Okay this is the closest we've been talking to sports. Unretweet it.

We got right into the Olympics with three minutes. You gotta retweet it and if it gets to 30 likes I'll watch. Oh fuck that. It's already at 14 in like one minute.

You just said you were gonna do it. Yeah but then I took it back because he cheated. It's at 21. Okay well fine if it gets to 50.

50. 30. I said 20 or 30. I said 30.

And now it's gotten the signal boost from the ad board in a second count. I do 50 is a good number. We will revisit this. You unretweet it.

Now that we're now that it's 50. I'm not un retweeting it. No that's fucking this bullshit. You are slowing down a little bit.

Shifting the goal post in a significant way. This is bullshit. I don't agree with it. Oh my god it's up to 26.

You gotta un retweet this. This is gonna make it to 50 for sure. I can't wait. Aaron says it Facebook.

If he has Facebook how could he not have seen it. And then Tayoon tweeted football's greatest injuries from Simpsons. And Steven DuManoir tweets we are all witnesses. I don't know what that means but it's up to 27.

It sounds like they've all seen it. Bakoon just like this. Oh well that's this is bullshit. So you gotta do it man.

It's not to be 50. Alright well uh. We'll come back to that. We will.

It'll probably be about three minutes from now. Oh my god. How did I get cloned into this? I have no idea.

I don't understand. This is punishment for John's new medal. No no this is not punishment. We haven't even got to the new medal.

No yeah now you just blew the second. Oh sorry. Yeah. That's a lot.

Yeah. Well by popular demand apparently because yeah so many people. Yeah. Yeah.

Definitely not recency bias at all. No no no. declared last week. So it's so to be the greatest episode.

Yeah yeah. Which makes sense. Which I felt like it was a very strong episode. They definitely remember how great all the old episodes are.

I'll say I'll say this. Even outside of the Limbiscuit it was a very good episode. I think it was just the addition of the Limbiscuit that put it over the top. Daniel.

Daniel Ralston former guest on this show just like the tweet John. I don't care. It's got to get to 50. I don't care who the people here.

Tayier just sent us a video of Kevin Ware snapping. No why are you people doing this now? I definitely do not want to see. I've seen that.

No that one's bad. That one's just not as bad as that. You guys both reacted very violently. It's because I've never seen an arm do this before.

Oh see you're not. That's fucking horrible. That doesn't mean it's bad. Have you ever seen an arm do this?

Yeah. Oh yeah. Oh what I'm like like that's not disgusting. We're the listener at home which is everyone.

This is terrible. This is a bad thing out with our arms. I hate everything about this. But like his arm breaks backward.

No don't describe it. It's kind of cool. Now that I'm thinking about it. It's definitely not cool.

My body broke his arm pitching. That I feel also throwing the ball. So his arm is like flopped at the end. Yeah.

So he said like he basically said that he felt like he threw it like a normal pitch and he didn't feel anything and the ball went like four feet and it landed like it like skipped on the ground in front of the mound and then he looked over and his wrist was like ah dangling. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. It's like the guy's piece by it's like a junk. See no. Oh.

Oh all right. Right. Now I got this. Yeah.

So disco. Yeah. Yeah, so I got this. proficient.

You know rightEt I don't really know what he's not doing. He Viking I didn't know exactly what he's doing. like fucking 15,000 times. Oh yeah.

To the point where it's like, oh, it's my old friend, Goatsy. How are you doing? Yeah, I've seen the ring is still on the same finger. Still red and pink.

Yeah, that's so gross. In the ass region. Man, that's so fucking weird. But like, yeah, at the point where if you should.

I'm thinking about that. Oh, go to it. I have a very bone in my mouth. That's nothing compared to what we want you to watch.

I'm training wheeling. I mean, sorry, I have it the wrong way. This is nothing compared to that. Yeah, yeah.

If you can handle that, this is, you know, this is brutal. To me, the grossest, like, tub girl is disgusting. Yeah. That one I can't.

Anything with like fluids to me. Yeah, yeah, yeah. No, I'm done with this. But Goatsy, yeah, like I said, it's like my old pal Goatsy.

Fred's going to tell me it's OK. That's something that I can't. Here, the song doesn't? No.

I don't know. What I can do. It's got a good message from Chocolate Starfish. Of course, then yes, I have heard it.

What to do? My life is through. That was just my favorite record in like, great hate. I want to say, John, what was the White Cabs podcast you're going on from the back line?

Yeah. Oh, they just replied today. Yeah. So do you want to hear this reply?

Yes. One Ders for yes, two for now. Two yes. So I don't know which of them runs the Twitter account.

It could be. It's probably Mark. OK. Well, Mark asks, I'm tempted to ask about the weight lifters pube situation, but I'm afraid you guys might actually have an answer for that.

OK. He's our median. So he definitely has pube situation. And it's a situation.

He, well, because OK, so that's what they're referring to is I was supposed to be. I have been on the show before from the back line. It's a Vancouver White Cabs podcast. And they asked me to be on it again.

And we were supposed to record tonight. But then tonight was the only night we could do RGS. So I told him I couldn't do it. And then Mark was like, that's OK.

And he's like, it's probably for the best. I didn't really want an update on the pube situation. And I knew he was referring to a bit that we had done, but I couldn't remember it. So that's like a weird bit to not remember.

The reverse Macklemore. Yeah, you're like, I dream on greens. Yeah, yeah, yeah. No, I know that now.

Do you want to look at the picture again? No. No, he has a. Yeah, no.

I have a bookmark. Yeah, I'm sure you do. Yeah, then you have all the timpiness. Yeah.

You've got to like circumcise halfway down the deck. Yeah, yeah, no, I'm good for that. But yeah, no. It looks like it looks like when a tree gets struck by lightning.

Oh, yeah. But then it would have to be like, part of it would have to be like split off, because like the tree never like, you know what I mean? Oh, I guess that's true. I guess I would.

Yeah. But yeah, so I was like, I know he's referencing our show, but I don't know what it is. So it's a sort of weird that two grown men are just texting each other about pube situations. But I didn't know what it was.

Well, now you do. And while we're clarifying things. My phone's going to die soon. I'm going to plug this in.

So I'm ready for a new metal look. Maybe. Yeah, if you can get this to work for you. Do you review review?

Yeah. Or we should be at the donor thing. We're close. We're at 43 right now.

I just wanted to clarify one more thing from last week, which was when we were talking about that guy spazzing out about Suban being on just her laughs and being like, he was playing the clown. But you know what? She was doing serious hockey things. I love that we live in a country.

I love it. That we live in a country where a sitting prime minister can write a lengthy book about the history of the sport of hockey while in office. And this is considered completely OK. But if a hockey guy spends one night telling jokes for a charity cause, what the fuck, man?

Well, that's because we have a lot of things to do. Hockey is way more serious, of course. This is my favorite bit that we do on the show. It's the Justin revisit something we did last week to try to make a better joke about it and fail.

I'm not making a joke. This is a hot day. Sorry, I'm making a this is a social observation. OK, Justin's social observations.

Yeah, rebakes takes. Yes. Exactly. Oh, like rebakes takes.

That's good. Yeah, that's a good segment. You should bring that back. Yeah, we haven't had a theme song made for any segment in a while.

So I might make another one. So you're keeping the time. Oh, speaking of that, fuck. I do.

I also have a roller report return. Really? Yeah, I mean, we don't have to do it this week, maybe next week. But there was a artistic roller skating video that went viral.

Not joking. Someone said like a horrible injury. No, no, it was just like a little girl. It was like a 10-year-old girl.

And it looks like she's doing it like in a mall or something. There's like quite a crowd around. And she just kills it. And then people are like, whoa.

And they just spread like wildfire. Yeah, people are just like, whoa, look at this girl roller skating. This is cool. And I was like, bitch, I've been on this for a year.

Don't viral video me in 2016 roller report is so old. This is it. I was a little pissed, actually. I was like, look at all these views.

This is horseshit. You're on the roller beat. Is it 50? 49 right now.

So we're going to tell folks at home that if they'd like to support the program, if they'd like to help us in any way, there are a few easy ways that you can do that. You can head online over to the iTunes website. It's like a tweet of all time. My old goddamn software.

And the leave us a review there. It helps us in the iTunes rankings, of course. It helps us stay relevant on the what's hot listing. And we just like it because it's a nice way for people to get in touch with the show beyond tweeting and joining our Facebook.

I want to listen to. It's a segment that we call review review. Two very enthusiastic thumbs up. Hi, Sarge.

This is awesome. Worst episode ever. This week's review comes to us from Roberto Clemente, who writes. Wow.

Look. E-reverticalment. What a legend. I've had diarrhea off and on for like six years.

It ain't that bad. John is definitely over rating it. Five out of five. Five stars.

Did we read this one before? I think I told it to you, but I don't think we've read it on the show before. Yeah, probably not. I think a lot of reviews mentioned diarrhea.

So yeah, it's a lot of crap. But this was what we were talking about. Would you have diarrhea for a really long time? I remember the context.

And I said like three months or something. Yeah, yeah, you said something that was completely incorrigible. I think that is OK. I've had diarrhea off and on for six years.

I'm going to just push this over the limit. God, tell me. Bless your soul. We have a big thank you for Tom.

Literally. Jesus. So yeah, so as far as the diarrhea goes, I mean, I mean, off and on. I mean, that's kind of how diarrhea works.

Maybe you just have like really bad because there's like good diarrhea. Yeah. Where it's like not the way. You know what I mean?

Yeah, yeah. It's good. I don't know. Are you technically correct here?

Are you over rating it by thinking it's horrible or under rating it? Did he use the right usage of ratings there? I don't need to know. The diarrhea semantics.

Yeah, exactly. I think he's referring to me over rating its terribleness. OK. That's what that's how I read it.

OK. Because he said over rating, right? Yes, he did. I don't know, man.

Three months. That's a long time to have bad diet. I don't even think I said three months though. That was the exact length.

You said three months. I said not even a day. And then Stefan said like two weeks. And then you're like, you got three months.

You got to give it yet. That was the whole purpose. Yeah. But I mean, what were you even getting?

Was it one cop? You know, it's like Benning will be fired or something like. OK, OK. That seems to be.

Or I was getting a cop, right? I think so. Yeah. Oh, man.

So should we watch the video? Or should we do the Patreon now? We got some Patreon donors to thank as well. Because if you have money sitting around that you'd like to give to us to keep the lights on, help us pay our bills over here, we are so appreciative.

The leak stop though. We're adjusting to this. Yeah. So I used some other rain to patch things up over there.

And there's no hole in my ceiling, any longer either. And we are actually doing t-shirts. So if you've ordered one, it's coming. We're serious this time.

We have a logo. They will be ordered this week. They are being ordered tomorrow. They will be printed in time for the live show.

They will. We're not going to mail them actually. You have to come to the live show to collect them. They didn't specify that on the Patreon account.

We did. It's in the fine print. Sorry, yes. It is in the fine print.

We have. We will mail it to you unless you're in Vancouver, in which case you can just come pick them up. And come to the live show. If you haven't got tickets yet, it's on September 23rd.

50% sold out. Yeah. We're already over half sold out. So if you are planning on coming, you should probably get on that.

If you're $10 donor, your ticket's free, we're going to have beer provided by Deep Cove brewing. And it's going to be a good time. We're going to have a special guest or guests. We don't know yet.

But keeping our fingers crossed, there will be someone will be there. Well, yeah, there's already there's going to be like 30 people there already. But like special guests beyond just how special the listeners will be there. And they are very special near and dear to us, if I may say.

But a couple donors this week, Trevor Aiken, who was last week's intern, is now this week's donor. Thank you, Trevor. And so when you mention a person by name, perhaps they give money to the show. That's how that works apparently.

Very nice. Bill Gates. And Trevor actually earned intern status last week, because he was a very ardent listener and supporter of the program, who knew people who I'm friends with. But he didn't know that he knew people who knew me when he started listening.

He found it through your Twitter feed, Stefan. And so we were at the pub a few weeks back, went back to his house afterwards. And he was like, giddy the entire time, his exact words were, I can't believe there's a podcast celebrity in my house. You're a podcast.

You were the celebrity in question? Yes. It's interesting. That's a loose definition of celebrity.

Oh, if you like the show, I said podcast celebrity. Yeah, that's true. I guess I think he qualified it. Yeah, but even still, would you say you're a part?

I mean, we're not even on the church. Well, maybe a local podcast celebrity. Yeah, or well, local funeral home. Yes.

Yes. Wait a minute. Wait a minute. Yes.

So I have a friend who works for the Georgia Strait. Yes. And he posted about, he actually had a very good Facebook status. He said, God bless the people who think Orange Julius is the city's best smoothie bar.

Which was a great post. And then I wrote on it and I was like, I'm praying to God, my podcast gets on the podium for best funeral home. And he liked it. Really?

So he hasn't given me any indicator. He actually wrote an article about me. If you haven't read it, you can check it out. I like the article.

Twitter. Yeah, it's about a time I did very badly at standup comedy. Yeah. It was pretty bad.

And we got a shout out at the bottom of the article. Yes, absolutely. So it was a radio master slash radio man. That's right.
